Chapter 86
In the past two weeks, I wondered if seeing my brother live was just a dream.
But now, I can see him again.
He’s smiling at Zeke but it didn’t reach his eyes.
Leon, who was with my brother, suddenly approached the car.
The dog and I looked at each other. He was outside while I’m inside the car.
His tail is wagging happily and when he’s sure that I’m the one he’s smelling inside, he trotted to Zeke and my brother then the dog will come back to me in a cycle.
Kuya noticed the dog’s excitement so he looked at the car.
I didn’t hear their conversation so much but it looks like Khalil asked Zeke if there’s someone inside the car.
Zeke nodded while my brother’s forehead wrinkled in confusion.
I heaved out a sigh and got out of the car.
Kuya stared at me, his smile earlier completely disappears.

I was just standing in front of the car while his jaw dropped and was surprised when he saw me there.
” Pat…?” I smiled.
” Kuya.” He gasped and walked closer to me.
” Is that you?” He looked at me from toe going to the head and stopped at my hair.
It’s now short… In the past, I don’t really like cutting my hair short because I felt like it doesn’t suit me. I don’t know why it’s no big deal to me now that my hair is short.
My brother’s eyes returned to me.
His hair grew, and he now has a little bit of beard.
He’s wearing black long sleeves and jeans.
He touched both of my cheeks.
” Pat.” He tightly engulfed me in an embrace. I can feel his longing for me.
” You’re alive. Thank God!” I stayed silent and stayed in his embrace.
After Kuya and I’s dramatic scene together, we finally decided to go inside the mansion.
The first person who saw me was Steven who ran towards me like a child while crying and jumping up and down over and over.
All of them were surprised to see me.
Who wouldn’t? Almost everyone thought I was dead.
So I talked to them one by one including Laiza.
They all seemed guilty at what happened but never once I have blamed them for it…
I also got to meet Ema who bursted in tears as she saw me.
I also volunteered to help her prepare for supper.
It’s a quarter to six when Brylle and Kayden arrived.
“Mama!” The moment Brylle saw me, he already bursted into tears.
He sat down so I went to him.
“I thought you have left me. Huhuhu. Mama!!!” This made me cry as I held him closer to my arms real tight.
I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time…Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Brylle.”
“Don’t leave me again, Mama. I missed you so much.” I rubbed his back in circles.
“Me too, baby…. I’m sorry.” He didn’t bother letting me go anymore so I carried him up and flashed a smile at Kayden.
“I knew you’ll come back.” He held one side of my cheek.
“Thank you for taking care of Brylle.”
“Of course, he’s my son— I mean, my wife’s son.” He was a bit sad upon saying those words.
I turned to Diego at the very corner of the room whose eyes widened while looking at Kayden.
Our eyes met and I gave him a nod.
He took a deep breathe before standing up and went to Kayden.
“Can I talk to you?” Kayden raised a brow as he turned to the person behind him.
His expression darkened as he realized it was Diego. So he let out a sigh and nodded.
“Let’s talk outside. Nass.” I smiled at the two and let them have their moment outside the mansion.
Hopefully no one would think of punching each other…
“Nass! Just why didn’t you show yourself in the first place?!” Devon asked harshly.
I can’t help but roll my eyes playfully.
“Don’t talk to me with that tone. You could just tell me that you miss me directly, it’s fine.” He shots a glare at me.
“No, not fine!” I saw his face turned a light shade of red.
I shook my head and walked to Maxence and Steven that are sitting on a sofa.
Steven was disturbing Maxence who’s playing on his phone.
“Go away, Steven. You’re so noisy.”
“But, you’ve been playing in there for more than a while. Can I try it?” Maxence gave Steven a look before drawing his phone away from him.
“I don’t wanna.” His eyes shifted to me which made him smile.
Wow. I suddenly want to capture this on camera…
“Nass. Don’t go away again.” He slowly muttered. Steven looked at me and his eyes shimmered with joy than before.
“Nass! In the next days, I’ll bring you to our house when we go home, you should bring Brylle along, too. There are a lot of kids there so he’ll get himself a playmate.”
What they’re saying are giving me a different eerie feeling.
It’s like they’re really accepting me. Like I’m part of the family.
“Miss Nass.” Erick bowed himself as a greeting in front of me and sat on the sofa. Laiza nods at me as she entered the kitchen.
“Hi.” I turned my head to Theo who looked shy to come any further.
“Tell me how am I suppose to make up everything I have done to you. I promise I’ll do them.” I fixed the way I held Brylle who’s now sleeping and held Theo by his shoulder.
“What I want you to do is stop thinking that you did something bad to me.” At first he furrowed his eyebrows but the next thing he smiled and nodded in the end.
“Thank you, Nassandra.”
He pecked a kiss on my cheek then ran away immediately. This made me frozen on my spot.
I blinked.
Huh???
